| The tour is a real treat. I enjoyed every minute of it. Tony knows his Brooklyn. He gave us some fascinating insight about Brooklyn’s more recent history and lead us to some of the most characteristic places of the borough. Besides that the pizza at Grimaldi’s and L&B Spumoni Gardens was excellent (so was the ‘spumoni’). A special highlight of the tour creates Tony with clips from various famous movies which were shot in Brooklyn (e.g. Saturday Night Fever, French Connection, etc). which he shows on the on board video system, masterfully timed at precisely the moment when the tour bus reaches the location where the shots were taken and when we had the same angle of view as in the movie. It makes you feel as if you were part of the scene. Amazing ! |

| On my wife's suggestion -- she took the Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour in March -- I went on the escapade on May 12. Tourguide Tony is a hoot. He loves his home borough and he loves what he does. And everyone loves the pizza. Are you a Sicilian or a Neopolitan at heart ? Take the tour and find out! And don't be bashful -- there's plenty of pizza for everyone!
The tour inspired me to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge later that afternoon and to journey out to Coney Island the next day specifically to ride the Cyclone. Tony and his pal Pete even hooked me up with a brewery tour the next day. They are very accomodating folks and a pleasure to spend an afternoon with.
(If the Cyclone is running while you're at Coney Island on the tour -- and it should be during the summer -- by all means ride it. It's a piece of Americana, just like Tony!)
You'll enjoy this excursion, especially as a respite from the crowds, traffic and bustle of Manhattan. |

| Wanted to tour Brooklyn for years. Tony did a great job to make this 'dream' happen.
Tony well informed, most considerate, pleasant and fun, even enjoyed meeting his
Uncle Louie. Should definitely do the same tour with an overview of
Manhattan. |

| The tour was great.! Being from Illinois we have always wanted to visit Brocklyn. The tour guide, Tony Muia, was outstanding and very knowlegeable. The bus was extremely comfortable .
We will be telling all our friends what a wonderful time we had and recommend that they also take the trip.
We are normally in NYC at least once a year and will be looking forward to other trip that Mr Muia will be the tour guide. |

| I had tons of fun on Tony's Slice of Brooklyn Tour. The highlights for me were:
All the views of Manhattan and the bridges from the Brooklyn side
The fantastic pizza
The trip to Coney Island (hadn't been there since I was around 12)
The fantastic pizza
All of Tony's stories about growing up in Brooklyn
The fantastic pizza
Tony himself!
The fantastic pizza (and the delicious spumoni)!
My husband has already made a reservation to take this tour in May when he's in NYC. Please go, you'll have a great time! |

| I loved this tour. I've wanted to see what Brooklyn was like and only visited Coney Island. The music, film clips and tour that Tony Muir provided was wonderful. I've already recommended this tour to my friends. If there is a tour for the other half of Brooklyn, I'm in! |

| If you love movies and pizza (and who doesn't?!) this is the tour for you. Tony, our guide, an unabashed cheerleader for his hometown was affable and informative with interesting historical facts and trivia about Brooklyn, pizza and the movies filmed on location there. I'll take off points for technical difficulties that prevented us from seeing the video presentation in full. Other than that, very enjoyable afternoon. |
